Crossed by the rue Haute and the rue Blaes, the Marolles district has always been a refuge for the disadvantaged and those seeking to escape the constraints of the city.

The Marolles was the site of the first residents’ protests against

rapacious property development and its social consequences. Today it is home to workers, immigrants and retired people. This walking tour will help you to discover the hidden gems of this resolutely working-class district.
